Cover in Powdered Snow embossing powder and heat set. Affix to the card using foam pads. Add dots of glue into the background and cover in Stardust Blue Sparkelicious glitter.

3 Tear some hill shapes from Crystal White pearl card and affix to the bottom of the card using foam pads. Apply lines of glue to the hills and cover in All That Glistens Sparkelicious glitter.

4 Stamp out the gingerbread village onto kraft card using the clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder, then carefully trim around. Apply Dries-Clear glue all over the houses and cover in Snowball Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, affix to the card using foam pads, tucking in behind the hills.

Matt and layer onto kraft card and affix to the card using a double layer of foam pads. Add a few candies into the background, onto the tree, and on the gingerbread houses. Finally, add three pearls to two of the corners, as shown.
